Core Module Details

1. Selling through Service: Increasing Revenues by Customer-Focused Selling

Selling isn’t just for sales reps anymore. As more contact centres move toward up-selling and cross-selling, yesterday’s customer service agent needs to be today’s all-round service and sales

representative with the knowledge and skills to develop and close sales and ensure a quality experience for each customer. This session will provide the basics of how to make the most of inbound sales opportunities, both in pure sales and service/sales environments. You’ll gain new perspectives on how upselling can benefit the customer and learn upselling techniques that maximize the customer relationship as well as the company’s bottom line.

Attendees will learn to:

 Identify sales opportunities in the everyday service environment.

 Identify up-sell opportunities at the end of a regular sales transaction.

 Overcome fear and reluctance to making the additional offer.

 Position the sale from the buyer’s perspective.

 Select the right words to support a “relationship selling” interaction.

2. Anatomy of a Sales Call: Four Steps to Successful Selling

Whether your calls are purely sales or order-taking opportunities or a potential sale at the end of a service or technical support transaction, there are still just four general components of a call. In this session, we’ll explore the four components of a sales call and what to say and do at each stage to best support the customer and make the sale. Learn how to make the most of the Engagement stage in the first few moments of a call and progress through a successful Discovery process. Once the customer needs have been identified, learn how to present a solution that is all about the customer and reach a commitment that is a win-win scenario for the centre and the customer.

 Identify the various types of sales opportunities and how they’re similar.

 Outline questioning techniques and sharpen listening skills for the Discovery process.

 Position the Solution in a positive way from the customer’s perspective.

 Reach the Commitment level of the call and close the sale successfully.

3. Sales Coaching for Supervisors: Techniques for Maximising Sales

Most sales training programs have a very short-term effect on performance because new skills and capabilities are not consistently applied and reinforced. Training for frontline staff should ideally be accompanied by ongoing sales coaching in order to achieve consistent sales results. However, while many Contact Centre Supervisors are equipped to coach a basic customer service call, they’re missing some skills for coaching and fine-tuning sales

behaviors on a call. This session will provide the needed skills and techniques to help supervisors guide and direct behaviors to maximise sales success.

 Define sales goals and desirable call behaviors.

 Identify motivation factors and factors in getting agent buy-in for the sales process.

 Describe ways to establish and support a selling mindset for calls.

 Identify gaps in all four stages of a sales call and ways to direct change.

 Describe strategies for reinforcing successful sales behaviors.

4. Building a Sales Operation: Ten Essential Elements

Creating a high-performance sales centre is not just about teaching frontline staff to sell. It’s about creating a sales culture – an environment in which the tools, technologies, processes, and incentives all support maximum sales performance. This session provides a foundation for creating and

sustaining a high-performance sales centre. You’ll learn how to uncover hidden revenue

opportunities and build a business case for implementing the needed systems and incentives for making those revenues a reality. You’ll also hear proven practices for setting performance criteria, selecting the best sales staff and training them effectively, coaching for sustained improvement, and proving incentives that reward the right behaviors.

 Uncover hidden revenue opportunities, along with maximizing current revenue streams.

 Identify traits of the most successful sales people and how to interview and screen for these

when interviewing.

 Outline the critical factors in the sales training curriculum.

 Define the most effective performance criteria and eliminate what is not working.
